5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best fighting game on Game Boy Advance, June 23, 2004

Add characters from the Dragon Ball Z cartoon series to a wonderful fighting game and you get Super Sonic Warriors...

DBZ: Super Sonic Warriors is probably the best fighting game you will ever get on your GBA. Moreover, if you are a Dragon Ball Z fan this game will really be a blast...

Let's drill down to the reasons I recommend buying this game:

Graphics: 10 out of 10.
Awesome. All characters are perfectly designed and look like they just came out of the pen of original DBZ designer Akira Toriyama. Special Effects (as Goku's Kameha blast, Vegeta's Big Bang Attack or Picolo's Makanko Sapo) are wonderfully rendered and you will see, with great surprise, some real cool graphics going on when you activate them (I won't describe in order to not spoil).

Controls: 9 out of 10.
Finally controls permit you to easily switch from flying to walking. You also get a well-done and really fun to do tutorial which will teach you the secrets of how to master the powers of the Super Saiyan.

Game play: 10 out of 10.
Just like good old Street Fighter or Tekken you can experience different story lines depending on which hero you choose in story mode.
Plus, you can play a whopping 15 characters from the DBZ cartoon. Basically everybody! You also get Buu!
Plus, you can fight against a friend through the GBA link cable.
Can it get cooler than this for a DBZ fan?

Atmosphere: 10 out of 10.
This is the real DBZ cartoon-fighting experience for GBA. If you like the cartoon this game will deliver all its fun.

The bottom line:
This game is a MUST BUY for:
1)DBZ fans. Those who like Goku and associates will love this game.
2)Fans of brawl and fight games. GBA doesn't offer much in this direction and normally they are all kind of crappy games. This one rulez.

You shuld buy this game cause it's great!!!! It got Fat Buu,super Buu, SS 3 gotenks, Trunks, Cyber frieaza and none of that stupid yamCha. If your thinking of geting this game, then stop. drop and buy this game. it's like budakai 1/2 where you have to buy stuff form the shop. do you people know hpow to get your Charecter level up? You can do close range attacks to kick your opponent away, then blast him with a long rage attacl like Burrning attack, kamahmaha, or a speicil beam cannon. to unlocksome more charexters you have to beat people in the challenge and z-mode and finish all of the If storris to earn some points. the beast team for the Z and challenge Modes is: krillin( cause He;s small and faster.) goku because he can use the kamahamaha and he can beat up most people. than your chioce of:super buu,frieza,cell, or Piccolo, or trunks or gotenks. But make sure you include krillion and goku. Them good.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best DBZ game and fighter on the GBA, July 15, 2004

This review is from: Dragon Ball Z: Super Sonic Warriors (Video Game)

Now if you have experimented with many of the DBZ games in the past, you should know that 95% of them were pretty horrible. Plagued down by slow gameplay, a poor story, sluggish controls, and mediocre sound and graphics have made the majority of the series a boring play. After the poor releases of the Legacy and Taiketsu GBA games, Supersonic Warriors seemed like it would follow the same fate. Boy was I wrong...SuperSonic Warriors is one of the most fun and innovative games I have played in a while, and being a fan of the anime makes it even more exciting. What makes the game great is all of the modes they have provided, one system that has been carried down from the Budokai series, is the point shop system. Basically when you win at the Challenge or Battle matches you win points, which you use to unlock characters, higher power levels, and new story modes. The story modes are very interesting and point out some cool storylines for certain characters that go beyond the show.

The character selection is impressive as well, including Cell, Gotenks, Goku, Trunks, 18, and more. There are a few I would've liked to see make their appearance in the game, but I do not want to give out any spoilers. On the topic of gameplay, I found it great because of one thing it had that the others were missing....Speed. If you have seen the show you know that what made the fighting great was the KI fights and intense speed, this game has both. Flying at will, moving at quick speeds, fast paced grappling, and great effects all make for a fun fighting experience. With all I have pointed out it sounds like it does take a while to master, but actually within an hour I was able to get the hang of the gist of it. All in all, DBZ SSW isn't the most complicated fighting game out there, but it certainly is one of funnest, and bonus points to it being portable!
